The lighter the colors of Corian are less likely to show scratches than darker colors. The installers suggested we use a product called "Plexus" to maintain it's lustre. It comes in a spray can and can also be used to clean and protect golf cart windshields as it is a plastic cleaner, protectant and polish. It's sold online as well as RV and motor sport shops.
Corian is less expensive than granite. It does scratch easier but is easier to repair than natural stone. We also like the undermount sink that is totally seamless.
There's pluses and minuses to all types of tops. Do your homework. Enjoy!
